Justice WALLER:

This case involves interpretation of S.C.Code Ann. Sections 24-3-40, 24-3-410, and 24-3-430 (Supp.2002) (the Prevailing Wage statutes). Appellants, Inmates confined within the South Carolina Department of Corrections (DOC), instituted this action asserting they were entitled to certain wages pursuant to the statutes. The circuit court ruled the statutes provided no private right of action for Inmates. We affirm in result.
